Seems to me that Rick Davis was not at 1st Brownwood very long when he moved on to another church. I thought he was much loved and appreciated there. So why did he leave?
From what I gather he is the one that is making the claim that his current church was interferred with by someone within the BGCT building. Apparently it is suggested that a pulpit committee member was “told” that Davis would not be good for that church.
Could be someone on the pulpit committee called someone at the BGCT, seeing as Davis previously worked for the BGCT and sought a reference on him. That is a perfectly legitimate thing to do, to not do so would be neglect on the committees part. So someone at the BGCT didn’t give him a good recommendation apparently, otherwise Davis would not be throwing a fit about all this.
Now understand if, that is a big if, someone within the BGCT called his current church unsolicitated and told a member of that pulpit committee a negative review on Davis, then that is inappropriate. I suspect that is not the case.
Just wondering why Davis left 1st Brownwood. Everything I read on his blog was that things were going great there. That he loved Brownwood and the people in that great church. Hmm, just wondering. I realize it isn’t really any of my business, just wondering.
Could he have been (God forbid) forced out. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. If that is the case then I am sincerely saddened by that. It is a painful and hurtful situation to be asked to leave a church, after you have served for a number of years and poured your heart and soul into ministering to the best of your abilities. Only to be told “we don’t want you anymore”. If that is the case Rick I am truly sorry. I suspect that isn’t the case.
Maybe he felt it was time to move on. That his work there was complete and there was more work needed elsewhere. Or that it really wasn’t a good fit. I pray that he is happy where he is. God speed Rick.
